The Case of the Vanishing Coach Topic

A longtime coach in my conference recently vanished from his position. He was there at the beginning of the season. I know this because we both recruited the same guy and later commented on it in the CC. Suddenly... "poof"...two games into the season he disappears. His team is now SIM. I'm not sure if he had teams in other worlds but if he did, he's no longer coaching them. Did he break a rule and get busted by WIS? Maybe he requested to be removed from his account? Anyone seen this?

I've seen it happen before. Several things are possible. The most common are he was asked to be removed from the team because he was being courteous to all coaches instead of allowing it to ghost. There is always the possibility of cheating, which will sometimes result in expulsion of the sort.

On one hand I should be happy he's gone cause he always blocked my recruiting efforts in West Texas. ;) On the other hand, he was a solid coach and seemed like a decent guy so it always sucks to lose somebody like that.

Texas won't be vacant very long. I decided late last week to come back to HD and was shocked to see a school of Texas" prestige available, so I quickly reserved them for next season. See you and the other big 12 coaches in a few weeks creilmann.

It always scares me when it happens. Mswilso2 had 5 titles and was and active poster and just disappeared without a word. Now kap the cub, who has been here since September 15 2001 is suddenly gone with no posts. This is a game, but the friendships and people are real, and unfortunately life is too. A long time, well known coach, and my best friend here, just had a major scare. Luckily is OK, but it shows that if something serious does happen, none of us will likely ever know. So I always hope it is something as simple as they got tired of the game, and I pray it is nothing worse.

I completely agree...I was surprised to learn that kap had disappeared when I heard it thru the grapevine in one of my worlds. It's pretty amazing the friendships that can be made through a game such as this.
